Camshaft Timing tool Set. Porsche 957 / 958 / 9YA / 970 / 95B 3.0ltr Diesel

Camshaft Timing Tool Set for Porsche 3.0ltr Diesel – Precision Alignment for V6 TDI Engines

This camshaft timing tool set is designed specifically for Porsche models equipped with the 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. This professional-grade tool kit ensures accurate synchronisation of the camshafts and crankshaft during timing chain replacement, cylinder-head repairs, camshaft adjuster servicing or full engine rebuilds.

Fits:

• Porsche 957 Cayenne 3.0L Diesel 2007-10
• Porsche 958 Cayenne V6 3.0L Diesel 245HP 2010-17
• Porsche 970.1 Panamera Diesel V6 3.0L 2011-13
• Porsche 970.2 Panamera Diesel V6 3.0L (250Hp) 2014-16
• Porsche 95B.1 Macan S Diesel 3.0L V6 258Bhp 2014-18

The Porsche V6 diesel engine uses a complex and tightly packaged timing chain system located at the rear of the engine. Because of its design, even slight timing deviations can cause starting issues, lack of power, incorrect injection timing, excessive smoke, misfires or severe internal damage. This timing tool set guarantees exact alignment, making diesel timing work safer, faster and more reliable.

What This Camshaft Timing Tool Set Does

This specialised diesel engine timing kit allows you to:

• Lock camshafts in the correct position during timing chain service
  
• Maintain precise cam-to-crank synchronisation
• Verify correct injection timing for optimal engine performance
  
• Support safe removal and installation of timing chain components
• Prevent accidental rotation of the crankshaft or camshafts
• Ensure accurate rebuild or servicing of 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines

Essential for workshops that service Porsche’s diesel performance engines.

Compatible Porsche Models (3.0ltr Diesel Engines)
Also compatible with shared VAG-platform V6 TDI engines used across multiple Porsche diesel vehicles.

Why Timing Systems Fail on Porsche 3.0ltr Diesel Engines

Common causes include:

• Timing chain stretch from high mileage
  
• Wear on tensioners and guide rails, causing slack
  
• Contaminated or poor-quality oil, reducing hydraulic tensioner efficiency
  
• Incorrect prior servicing without timing tools
• Mechanical wear from towing or sustained load driving
• Thermal expansion, affecting chain length and alignment

Symptoms often include rattling at cold start, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, rough idle or engine warning lights.

Why You Should Use a Precision Camshaft Timing Tool Set

A proper timing tool kit ensures:

• Exact alignment, eliminating risk of timing errors
• Protection against piston-to-valve contact
• Accurate injection timing for smooth diesel performance
• Safer removal of rear-mounted timing chains
• Reduced labour time and error-risk in confined engine bays
• Professional-quality rebuild results

Using improvised methods risks catastrophic engine damage.
